    I really don’t know how they don’t understand the very simple concept that you can’t force someone into a contract.

    But it was nice of him to not charge a fee to keep people updated, I guess.

      But the gubment forced us into a contract of indentured servitude under the social security gold standard emancipation proclamation​!

        No, you still have to agree to the ToS. They can’t force you. All they can do is say that you cannot access the software or service if you don’t agree to it. No one can force you to agree to a contract. That’s just not how contract law works.

      It’s all based on the articles of confederation or wtv where it was a bit more free and wild, people had these kinds of rules and contracts between them. Nothing like this of course.

      Basically they think an old government piece of paper that has wording they prefer outweighs the government piece of paper they don’t. (The one they don’t have to pay for, but still get alll the benefits).

    Thank god the moron wrote out the number values (.00 cents btw!!!) and then immediately after wrote out the same information but in English. This isn’t a fucking check you dumbfuck, who exactly is getting any value out of doing that?

    Maybe you shouldn’t hand write a goddamn “contract” if you’re soooo worried someone might come fudge the numbers you wrote down! Shit, at that point just write out the numbers in English and skip the numerical version altogether. Literally wasting their own time.

      I would bet you one of their spellbooks sovereign citizen websites told them to do that. Every weird thing they write is based on some stupid rule they think they have to follow.

    Making magical gestures …“By your performance, we mutually agree to the binding terms of this contract!”

    Hogwarts instructor: No, you must abbreviate that, it’s much too lengthy, and you’ll be counterspelled. Try this instead: “Contractus Bindero!”

    I wonder if part of the magic is being hand-written. Would it not work as well if it was typed? Does it matter what color ink or what type of paper you use? Or am I totally on the wrong track, and this person just prefers writing over typing?

    Either way, I find it incredibly tragic. Seems like their car was involuntarily towed, which is already a bad situation, and this is going to make things worse. At best, it will cause delays.
